Oh ok, i take pepcid twice a day. Your doc didn't give u anything for reflux? How far out are you. Praying you feel better soon.

Yeah I take omiprezal once a day but it was not working. I called my nurse and she told me to try pepcid and zantac. By them self it didn't work but I put them together just a lil but ago and I feel so much better. Thank you.

I am 18 days post op and I feel great. My love affair with food is definitely dying. I mostly eat now because I have to, I don't really plan my meals because there is so little that I can actually eat. It is a little depressing to be honest.

I. Agree MO. I'm on 'full liquid' for 2 more weeks. Very boring and most times I have my meal just because it's what I'm supposed to do. I feel a little nauseous every once in a while but I can't seem to figure out the trigger. I have not gotten sick, just get the occasional moment when I feel like I could.

Im 8 days out & decided to be nice to hubby & cook wrong move. I ate a few finger scoops of mash potatoes with corn stuck to it. It went down well, but i had to put the left overs in the ice box fast because i kept coming back.

Well because I can eat such small amounts, I am all confused on what to eat. It took me from lunch to dinner to eat a Wendy's grilled chicken wrap. I didn't chew well on my last bite and ended up throwing up in my kitchen sink. That was so traumatic for me....I don't care to eat solids anymore..went back to liquids and yogurt. I am wondering when I will be able to eat solid foods comfortably.

don't be discouraged. My instructions says if you have problems with a food in a step go back to the previous step for one week. Perhaps your not ready for dense Protein like meat? Wait a week them try again, each of our stomachs are in different stages of swelling. Our insides are not healed yet. We will all get through this :)

I truly believe if we follow our food stages & walk/exercise, the weight WILL come off, have faith!

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
